$25 FREE CASH Contest CLOSED *TOP CHEF* Winner announced!

CoraBets:
Chocolate Chocolate Rum Carrot Cake

3/4 cup soft butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 large eggs
2 cups lightly packed grated carrots
1/3 cup rum
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 unsweetened cocoa powder
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup semisweet chocolate baking chips
1 cup chopped dates
1/4 cup milk

Rum Glaze (recipe follows)


Into a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and the sugar until well blended and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, adding one at a time and incorporating it into the mixture before adding the next egg. Using a spoon, stir the grated carrots into the mixture.

Mix together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the nuts, dates, and the chocolate chips. Combine this mixture and the milk into the butter/sugar/eggs/carrot mixture and stir in the rum.

Spread batter evenly into a well buttered bundt or tube pan.

Bake at 350 degrees until the cake begins to pull back from the sides of the pan and springs back when pressed in the center. This will take about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set the pan on a rack for 15 to 20 minutes prior to inverting the pan onto a plate. If desired, drizzle the glaze on the cake.

Rum Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup rum

Mix the powdered sugar and rum together until smooth and use within one hour of mixing. If you have a knitting needle or a skewer handy, you may wish to poke holes into the cake and then drizzle the glaze. This allows the glaze to penetrate the cake quite nicely.

NOW THAT SOUNDS YUMMY!!!!!! GOTTA TRY IT!!!!!

I will assume an amount to serve will be for about 4-5 people.

1 pound of lean hamburger
10 potatoes
3-4 packages of brown gravy mix
1 loaf of garlic bread
2 cans of sweet corn
Garlic
Seasoned Salt
Pepper

First wash your hands. Roll up the hamburger into meatballs and put into a pan on medium heat. Sprinkle garlic salt, seasoned salt, and pepper on the meatballs and put a lid on it. Rolling them every 5 minutes for about 20 minutes. After making meatballs then you get a pot boil some water and put your potatoes on high. When the meatballs are done then you drain any grease that is in pan and put it back on stove, add the brown gravy packages with the water that it states to add and mix it up and put the stove to a medium low and put lid back on. Stirring it about every 1 or 2 minutes. When thick enough to your liking just simmer until you are done with potatoes. Make your mashed potatoes and fix your corn or also good with green beans. After everything is done you get a plate and put the mashed potatoes in the center of plate with butter on them then you add the meatballs and gravy on top of potatoes then put your vegetable on the side and WaLa.

Directions:
Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces and cover ½ way with water. Boil for 10 min. Reduce to simmer and
continue cooking until vegetables are tender. This soup can be eaten any time of the day. This soup will not add
calories: the more you eat, the more you lose. If eaten alone for indefinite periods, you will suffer malnutrition.
Fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day.
DAY 1
All fruits except bananas. Your first day eat
all the fruits you want except bananas.
Cantaloupes and watermelons are lower in
calories than most fruits the first day. Eat
only your soup and fruits on the first day.
Drink unsweetened tea, cranberry juice or
water.
DAY 2
All vegetables. Eat until stuffed with fresh
or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to
eat green leafy veggies and stay away from
dry beans, peas, and corn. At dinner time
reward yourself with a large baked potato,
buttered. Eat all the soup you want; don’t
eat fruit.
DAY 3
Mix day one and two. Eat all the soup,
fruits, and veggies you want. No potato.
DAY 4
Bananas and skimmed milk. Eat as many as
8 bananas and drink as much skimmed
milk as you can along with your soup.
Bananas are high in calories and
carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to
lessen your craving sweets.
DAY 5
Beef and tomatoes. You may have 10-20oz
of beef and a can of tomatoes or as many as
6 fresh tomatoes. Try to drink at least 5-8
glasses of water to wash away the uric acid.
Eat your soup at least once this day.
DAY 6
Beef and veggies. Eat to your heart’s
content of beef and vegetables this day.
Green leafy vegetables preferred. NO
BAKED POTATO. Eat your soup.
DAY 7
Brown rice, unsweetened juices and
vegetables. Again, stuff yourself. Be sure
to eat your soup at least once today.

THE END OF THE SEVENTH DAY, IF YOU HAVE NOT CHEATED YOU
WILL FIND THAT YOU HAVE LOST 10-17 POUNDS. If you lost more than
15 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming it again from day
one. This seven day eating plan can be used as often as you like. As a
matter of fact, correctly followed, it will clean your system of impurities and
give you a feeling of well being as never before. After only 7 days of this
process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 and possibly 17 pounds
and have an abundance of energy. Continue this plan as long as you will
and feel the difference. This diet is a fast, fat burning diet and the secret is
that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of
impurities and give you a feeling of well being. This diet does not lend itself
to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time because the removal of fat
build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 24 hours before any intake
of alcohol. Because everyone’s digestive system is different, this diet will
affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy, if you
didn’t cheat. After being on the diet several days, you will find your bowel
movement has changed. Eat a cup of bran and fiber. Although you can have
black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don’t need caffeine after
the third day. DEFINITE NO’NO’S: NO BREAD, ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES, AND NO CARBONATED BEVERAGES, NOT EVEN TAB
OR OTHER DIET DRINKS…STICK WITH WATER, UNSWEETENED TEA,
BLACK COFFEE, UNSWEETENED FRUIT JUICES, CRANBERRY JUICE
AND SKIMMED MILK (on the day allowed), FRIED FOODS. The basic fat
burning soup can be eaten at anytime, when you feel hungry. Eat all you
wish, as often as you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you
eat, the more you lose. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of
beef (absolutely no skin on the chicken). If you prefer, substitute broiled fish
for the beef on one of the beef days. You need high protein in the beef on
the other day. Any prescribed medication will not hurt you on this diet.
Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference in both mental
and physical disposition.
